#10 is my kryptonite when I'm going for stew or a vegetable beef soup. At least those two dishes are more forgiving of not getting the nice brown crust that I try for. I look at all the meat I have to brown and convince myself that I can do it in two batches instead of three.

I'm wrong. Every. Single. Time. And my pot looks exactly like the one in that picture.

quote:it's a sin how terrible some people are at cooking bacon

It doesn't matter in our house. I cook 3 strips of bacon every morning at 6 a.m. and leave it on the counter top and then go off to the gym. When Lucy gets home at 7 a.m. she eats the crispiest piece. She gives the other two to our dogs. But only after telling them that 'mommie cooked this for you.' She lies to the dogs all the time.
